TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (DRN) – A local museum faces a snake invasion, but it was all a plan to teach survival skills to kids.
Children got the chance to pet and hold snakes at the Terre Haute Children’s Museum this morning.
It is part of Survivor Camp at the museum. Kids learn basic survival skills and compete to earn survivor rewards.
A lot of the lessons involve animal safety and how to react when they see animals in the wild.
“They’ll be learning all about them. They’ll learn that this snake is named Maddy, and that she was rescued. And they’ll learn about what she eats. They’ll get a chance to hold her or touch her if they want,” Director of Education and Exhibits Rachel Nickel said.
The Children’s Museum said they have lots of educational opportunities for the community, and are excited about the new building opening in September.
